Maisalm

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Interrupts the steep ascent in the most beautiful way - up to this point, the ascent from Aschau is really demanding.

The section is S2 and nice to drive if you are experienced. But there are also hikers here, so please be considerate. The surface is mostly stony and light rubble, the stones are sometimes the size of a fist.

Ascent to the Summit Cross Through the Rock Walls

Highlight • Climb

The last few meters to the summit are partly insured with ropes, so anyone who is used to it will have no problems at all. It's best to wait for oncoming traffic.

Kampenwand East Summit

Highlight • Summit

Great all-round view and an impressive cross. With rope protection on the ascent, a viewing platform, a short climb from the mountain station and enough space on the summit, there is always a lot going on.

Steinlingalm Alpine Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Great view and good cake - almost everyone on the way to Kampenwand stops here (and rightly so).

Memorial chapel

Highlight • Religious Site

Great view of the Kampenwand. The ideal place for everyone who doesn't dare to climb the via ferrata to the summit and prefers to watch the others as they climb and sit comfortably in the sun.

As luck would have it, in addition to a place to stay overnight in Munich, I also had a 49€ ticket. So off to the mountains by train.
The first goal was the Kampenwand. From Aschau to the Steinlingalm and back again it was quite lonely and not difficult. The summit structure was then not without and was populated by …

Overjoyed about a spontaneous tour...common sense only led me to climb the SultenKreuz...and that's a good thing
The way back was very slippery in places and unfortunately later on there was too much asphalt
The elevation gain during the climb was great due to the varied terrain

From the hiking car park in Aigen/Hintergschwendt (day ticket €5, machine only takes coins) we went to the Kampenwand east summit today. We walked lonely forest paths up to Rossboden, then after the first contact with snow we went east around the Sulten to the Sultensattel.
From the Steinlingalm it then goes steeply up the Bruchass between the mountain pines …
